iris123 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Got to give him a chance.....but a rider changing their vehicle!!! and not sure if i heard right but thought he said they were sweeping the track.Then again Ermolenko called a wheelie a "wheel stand"....not even sure if that is an americanism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 How many heats required for a result ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonbee48 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Usually a long interval in Sweden after heat 10, but ,by the look of the weather, they need to get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) How many heats required for a result ? it used to be 9 but since its only 15 heat meetings this season it might have changed to 8 but i do not know for sure. It should be 50% of the heats +1 heat. Usually a long interval in Sweden after heat 10, but ,by the look of the weather, they need to get on with it. its confirmed that there will not be a long pause after heat 10.

Perhaps Sam is on a retainer from the Wheelstand Co. who make rims? Regards. Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 OK.. The commentator is getting worse now. I don't mind if they don't know much about the sport.. but surely they can tell who is who from the helmet colors.. especially when they don't mention the riders for 2 laps... (I was thinking so he could check his sheet to confirm)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 really poor performance by Elit Vetlanda. but also a good perfomance from Piraterna. But obviously the only difference were that the Pirates were much better gaters and that is all that counts in Vetlanda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more positive note another excellent showing from ginger pubes following a brilliant GP on Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Ermolenko is just thick, even for an American. He does seem to constantly change his mind,mid-word......almost unlistenable the bloke is.At least this bloke is good for a laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more positive note another excellent showing from ginger pubes following a brilliant GP on Saturday! Rather poor show from him, pulling up and giving up in his last 2 races. I HATE to see that from any rider in my team. Something used to seeing Zagar and Lee Richardson do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
